unfortunately the command line syntax changes in v3.0 will break the
only package in Debian that depends on redir (vagrant-lxc). would it be
possible to still accept the old syntax, while perhaps issuing a
warning? if not, I will have to rewrite the relevant parts of
vagrant-lxc (or wait for someone else to do it, whatever comes first)
before we can proceed with redir 3.0 in Debian.

In any case, it is much appreciated that you took over upstream
maintainance of redir. Thanks.
